Description
Sycamore Cottage is a 17th-century cottage constructed of brick-nogged oak small framing, with parts rebuilt in brick and a thatched roof. It has one storey plus an attic bedroom and consists of two bays. The thatched roof is complemented by a one-storey painted brick wing on the right, which is blank to the front. The original framed and boarded door has been replaced and is located under a small lean-to porch roof supported by brackets. The cottage features small-pane casements typical of the 19th-century Cholmondeley Estate, along with one lattice iron casement at the rear. A brick chimney is situated at the ridge.
Inside, the layout follows a lobby-entrance plan, with back-to-back inglenooks that have oak bressumers. The beams are chamfered, and the boarded doors are fitted with old latches and wrought-iron strap hinges. The cottage sustained damage from a land-mine during the Second World War, which distorted the roof structure, resulting in the gables being raised by two courses of brickwork above the principal rafters.
